How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)

Comment: I hope toilet paper never goes digital.
NEW YORK -- In the reexamination proceeding initiated earlier this year by the Public Patent Foundation ("PUBPAT"), the United States Patent and Trademark Office has rejected all of the claims of Microsoft's patent on the FAT file system, which Microsoft describes as "the ubiquitous format used for interchange of media between computers, and, since the advent of inexpensive, removable flash memory, also between digital devices."

This is what Bill Gates gets for posing as a programmer. Remember CP/M? Remember the Osbourne? Bill, you only invented a way to get away with what you did, not the technology.
Who put that Window there? Looks like a bad episode of the X-Files with that lighting
This being said, the things this group is doing is way in to the future, but so was the mobile phone 15 years ago. Nobody could imagine than that nowadays in many countries the larger part of the population can be reached everywhere by phone (though you can discuss whether that is such a good thing as well).
In the early days of the computer, nobody imagined the wide spread of computers today. And on the use of Internet, more than one "enlightened" person made the wrong predictions.
And no, I would not want my toilet paper to be digital. But it is easy to make jokes/get scared about new technology. Eg people said when the first cars started to appear that people would not be able to stand speeds over 40 mph/60kph.
But then maybe all these comments above would not have been here if this was not "Microsoft" Research.
